I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee...Psalm 9:verses 1 and 2a

Welcome to our tea party! We just spent a week with our grandsons and this was the grand finale... ...smile. Our daughter had gone on a little vacation with her hubby and she brought me back this beautiful teapot. Our grandson who is eight years old, had the idea of a tea party for Mom when she got home from work. We made chocolate 'topped' marshmallows and chocolate covered raisins....sweet enough to turn you to sugar...lol.

He planned the table setting, with soft lighting, and soothing music. He was the butler and I was the hostess. What a joyful time we had, there was none better. I loved every minute of it and wished we could have stayed a few more days. We played monopoly for 3 days running...and the laughs we shared were riches in themselves. Every night I read Ramona until those dear boys drifted off to sleep. We had so much fun!

On our last day there, we visited our 4 year old's classroom. That was so much fun and what a treat to see the godly setting he is in daily. I'm a believer in Christian schools...oh so much. His classroom was bright and cheerful and full of fun waiting its turn.

On the road coming home, we stopped at this Habitat for Humanity store. Would you believe this wicker table and two chairs was priced at only $30.00? Even one of the chairs would be charming don't you think so? I laughingly suggested we tie a chair on the car roof, but was turned down. Naturally...haha.

I am thankful to Jesus for the safety coming home. And to be home is nice, even if I do miss the boys.

'The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.' Proverbs 10:22

About Me

My Testimony

I was saved when I was 32 years old. We had evangelistic meetings the week of Mother's Day. When asked by the evangelist if I died tonight would I be sure I would go to heaven. I answered...'I hope so'. He answered, 'young lady, heaven is a 'know so' place'. He asked me to sit up front the next day in church, and the message was 'Hell will be filled with 'good' people'. The first one third of the message I sat in the pew and reviewed to God and myself what a 'good' person I really was. Not! The Holy Spirit of God brought conviction to my heart so vividly, that I clearly remember not needing to hear any more of the sermon. God's word had reached ME! I was a sinner on my way to Hell. I couldn't wait to go forward and pray, accepting Christ as my Saviour. I believed on him that day and received Him personally by repentance and prayer, confessing my need of salvation. Hell will be filled with good people all right, BUT good only in their own eyes. God alone is sinless and 'good'.

"ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is mad unto salvation. Romans 10: 9 & 10 Verse 13 says this, 'for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' John 1:12 & 13 says, 'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.'
